Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

DOC. that would be a no to the north -south question and a yes to the other 2 questions. several teams have left the conference the last couple of year leaving them with only 4 teams. tough to fill out a schedule when they have had trouble finding teams to play for various reasons. took what they could get and it may have helped as ohio dom was a pretty good squad, certainly would have been top 20 or better in D3.

Thank-you.

Wesley's reputation precedes them.

pawesley, wesleydad and the rest of the Wesley fans :

I was in Alliance (2) weeks ago to watch Montclair play the Machine. It was a great experience, the MUC fans and alums were great. The machine dominated, we never gave up and it was a war even the score was not indicative. So far Montclair is the only eastern team to score (14) on the machine (this was done in the 1st half). I keep using the word the machine and they are that, But :

You guys have a real shot at them. Play Wesley football and you can do it. Don't be intimidated by them. I followed you guys in 2000 and 2001 and then became a Montclair wacko ever since. I think you are the next team to step up to the MUC and WWW level. Three years ago Wesley was the big stud and Montclair came to your place and came away with a win. You guys can do the same.

Play your game and don't be intimidated. Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!

rams1102, thanks for the vote of confidence. wesley has a shot, a real good shot to win this game. hitting the road at 3 to make breakfast at 930 in alliance, 2 passengers with me. go wesley, step it up and get it done.

Well, the team isn't phased by MUC, trust me on that. Practice went well yesterday at the field and a trip to the NFL HOF was a blast. But, today, it will be settled once and for all.

See you at the game.

I agree. Except for the game experience part..........

Well everyone else who posts here is at the game today.

This is the best team Wesley has had in the 15 years I have been following them.

I think you throw out the two losses to WW a few years ago because their is only on maybe two players left from those games.
Noone seems to remember that both those games started the same way. Wesley having terrible field position and getting scored on early and then things just snowballing...no pun intented!!

Add the fact that it was just aboout the same team both years and the mental let down that occured when WW scored early in that game... That's the past

This team has a different look. They play as a unit and pick each other up after a missed play. If Mc Sweeney gets his reads right he will make some plays . I am looking forward to a great game

Good luck to both teams.

PA_wesleyfan · December 12, 2009, 01:13:33 PM

Thanks gentleman. I had a great time last night and some hope going into the 4th quarter. Can't ask for more than that. Too much Cecil Shorts and the your defense was great. Hope that Rocco is okay and that you guys are full strength for the Stagg next week. Looks like my wife will get her weekend in Baltimore next weekend. She deserves it.

Hard fought game today Wesley. A few turnovers cost you the game. Without Rocco for a while we were sweating it out...putting a freshman QB in that position doesn't always have a good ending. Bad for you that Shorts came to the rescue.

I'm sure Wesley will be back next year. Congrats on a great year!

thewaterboy · December 12, 2009, 09:13:27 PM

Good season Wolverines, sure would like to play 1 more game though. The Wolverines couldnt establish a running game and a few turnovers cost them the game. I dont believe that they played their best game either. Watched some of the game on STO. The MUC player never tipped the ball when he ran into Smicklo. Should have been obvious anyway since footballs that are tipped dont go 50 yards. And the roughing the punter call that was called was bad. The punter just grazed the shoulder pad of the Wolverine who started to turn around. Then he just fell down. But its over and all that matters now is the score. Good job Mount Union, will miss the seniors. Now its time to prepare for the long offseason, but hopefully not too long.

Talked with some Mount Unioners, all nice people. You all represent your school well and should be proud. However, when the Wolverines were on their way to the lockerroom during halftime, there were some MUC fans shouting obscene remarks at the players.

Good luck to Mount in the Stagg, and Go Wesley.

the waterboy
The running into the punter showed on replay that the Wesley player ran into the punter without even trying to avoid contact. It's good to be agressive but that player was called for numberous personal fouls this year on special teams. The biggest plays of the game were the INT in the end zone and some dropped passes. To bad Aaron Jackson was hurt the last few weeks.. He was not able to gets his cuts again today

wesleydad · December 13, 2009, 04:49:43 PM

well, just got back from alliance. 6 hour ride turned into 8 hours with freezing rain to start, pa turnpike shut down for a half hour, and then slow going for 45 miles near pittsburgh made for a long drive. we are home safe and enjoyed the trip.

not to belabor what has already been said, but this team had a chance and no one stepped up to make the plays when they were needed. one teams top player gets put in position to make plays and does while the other teams supposed big receiver fails to make a crucial catch when the game was still 10 - 7 in the third, plus dropped several other passes and failed to fight for an extra foot that would have given wesley a first down early in the game. i guess that is the difference between a team player and an individual. the only turnover that really made a difference was the pop pass. where does that play come from? When given the opportunity to use your top receiver against the smaller db's on the play that has worked all year, coach calls for a play they did not run all year to the short side of the field to the TE, covered by 4 players.

The defense was fantastic, unfortunately they were the second best one on the field today. mounts defense is scary fast and disciplined. their d line had a field day witht the O line, constantly in mcsweeneys face as soon as he caught the snap. bottom line is too much mount d and too much cecil shorts.

great season for the team and they earned a lot of respect from the mount people at the game. we had at least 2 dozen people stop by us on the way out while we had a couple beverages after the game congratulating the team on a great game.
